Concerto pour une Nuit de Noël de Corelli

Concerto pour une Nuit de Noël de Corelli / Ave Maria de Caccini & Schubert / Les 4 Saisons de Vivaldi Intégrale

Orchestra: Hélios

Conductor: Glen Rouxel

Concerto grosso in G minor, Op. 6, No. 8 by Arcangelo Corelli, better known as the Christmas Concerto, was commissioned by Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni and published posthumously in 1714. The concerto bears the inscription Fatto per la note de Natale (made for Christmas night). The concerto is written for an ensemble consisting of two concertino violins and cello, ripieno strings, and continuo.

Antonio Vivaldi's The Four Seasons is a set of four violin concertos, composed in 1723. It is undoubtedly Vivaldi's most famous composition and the most performed musical work in the world. It is a violin concerto where a solo violin plays accompanied by a chamber orchestra. The content of each concerto is varied and evokes each of the seasons to which it relates. For example, winter is punctuated by pizzicato notes on the high strings, reminiscent of icy rain, while summer evokes a thunderstorm in the final movement, prepared by the thunder rumbling repeatedly in the movement.
